John Steffensen isn't a swimmer but he did shape Brett's coaching philosophy.

They talk about how a swimmer and a runner became friends. 

How he trained as a 200/400 meter runner. Winning Silver on the 4x100 Relay at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

The similarities between a 200 Freestyle and the 400m. 

Doping. 

Training 100% for 9 months, party for 2.

Becoming close friends with Usain Bolt. What he's best at. Another chicken nugget story. 

John's competitive mentality.

"If you're not setting a personal best at the Games, you messed up!"

Driving home with Usain after he ripped his hamstring in 2014.

The Last Dance.

And much, much more.
